Week 6

Last week was a great week doing songs about outside fun.
Last Week: Learned "Mister Sun" and practiced playing instruments just at particular times (when the sun comes out). This is a great activity for learning to take turns and for preparing for playing different instruments at different times. Also we learned a song about going on a picnic with different foods. We sang "What Shall We Do When We All Go Out?" and acted out our favorite outside activities while we sang. (Riding bikes, swinging, sliding, etc.) We also sang "Bounce High" while bouncing a ball to our moms. We sang a fun song about going fishing and used some movement to it as well!

At Home: "What Shall We Do" is a great simple song for kids to be able to brainstorm different movements to use. "Bounce High" is another song to sing while you are outside playing ball...I thought it was neat that some children were already trying to keep a steady beat while bouncing their ball...not an easy feat!

Next Week: Next week is all about transportation! We're going to do songs about trains, cars, using our bodies for transportation, wagons, etc. We'll read a funny book using one of our songs too! We're going to use instruments on one of our "train trips"...be ready! It's going to be a fun week! We're also going to review some songs that we will be doing at our sharing night on the last night of class. Make sure you have invited family and friends...the original form said April 11 but the sharing night is actually APRIL 18th!
